FAQs

Wondering what to expect from your visit to The Last Resort?

From the moment you arrive at the farm gate you’ll be ready to leave the rest of the world behind and embrace the beauty on offer.

Space For Everyone

Our station has been a working farm since the mid-1800s and has a diverse terrain across more than ten thousand acres. In addition to our walking and horse trekking adventures our farm is a well known private hunting destination.

We take care to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests so please follow any details regarding areas that are restricted access or currently being prioritised for the needs of our stock.

Keep your distance from stock wherever possible, if you open a gate make sure you close it after you, and come prepared to enjoy your stay with us.

All guests are required to read and adhere to the Terms & Conditions for visting Riversdale Station.

Taxi!

Depending on your chosen adventure you may require for yourself or your equipment to be transported across the station.

We don’t allow the use of private vehicles on our land, however, you and your gear can hitch a ride back to your car on our Can-Am side-by-side.

If you have friends or family who want to join the evening fun but aren’t up for the adventure we can arrange to drop them at your accommodation and collect them the next day (** MUST be confirmed at time of enquiry, subject to availability)

Cellphone Reception

There is patchy coverage for different mobile networks across our station. You can either climb the eighth post along the south fenceline and hold your tongue at ninety degrees, or, just switch to Airplane mode and use your camera without all the distractions.

Out here on the Wairarapa coast we reckon #latergram is where it’s at.

Do We Need to Share?

Each accommodation option has different configurations for guests and bedrooms.

With our larger buildings, The Last Resort and The Lodge, unless there is a minimum of four guests booked or the equivalent paid to secure it exclusively, you may find yourself sharing with other guests.

Please specify in your initial enquiry if you want to book exclusive accommodation.

Will My Car Be Safe?

Absolutely! We have car parking on-site and a pack of dogs at the farm house so we’re confident you’ll find your car exactly as you left it.
